On June 8, Glee’s

On June 8, Glee’s Cory Monteith (Finn) made his first appearance on the red carpet since leaving rehab at the end of April. Over the past few months, the Glee star has kept things very low-key, avoiding press and work events, and choosing to focus on his recovery.

Then, he slowly started to step back out into the spotlight. With girlfriend Lea Michele (Rachel) by his side, Cory walked the red carpet at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles, an event that raises money to help find employment for homeless and low-income individuals.

Who would have guessed that Cory's story would end so tragically just barely a month later? His death just hurts to think about. We're still in shock.
